In 1972 I seem to recall, although I cannot be certain that my memory is still up to snuff, that Jerry used two Fender Stratocasters. I think he used his white one with the maple neck on this night. I always loved the tone of this guitar. It is capable of being both rich and raunchy. Jerry liked the Strat's tone because he could, besides regular rock guitar, make it sound like a steel guitar and an acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, these guitars often went out of tune. Perhaps it's why he eventually went to custom made hybrids of Fender Strat and Gibson SG's and Les Pauls. He got the fat sound and stayed in tune better.

Dunno. Just supossin'

Good show...classic '72 sound. Definitely worth listening to Phil's bass solo out of Truckin' and Jerry does add a little bit to the end of Bertha after the flub. Just saw the Beat Club movie and it was funny how Jerry stopped mid-song to correct someone else's flub. You could tell everyone else tightened up after that...

A must-hear Bill Graham introduction. Check it out.

Was Pigpen out sick this night?

Exellent in both performance and sound quality. Thanks Jay and thanks Betty Cantor Jackson.
